Title: Chilling unit and water-circulating temperature-adjustment system
Inventor: YOSHIO YAMANO
IPC: F25B29/00
Filed: 2017-05-19
Abstract: A chilling unit and a water-circulating temperature-adjustment system are provided with: a refrigerant circuit including a compressor, a pair of air-side heat exchangers, an expansion valve, and a heat medium-side heat exchanger which are connected by piping to circulate refrigerant; piping for circulating heat medium; a flow passageway switching device for switching the circulation path of refrigerant; a temperature sensor; pressure sensors; and a control device. The control device controls the compressor on the basis of a target exit temperature that is set in advance, a heat medium temperature measured by means of the temperature sensor, and a pressure difference of the heat medium measured by means of the pressure sensors. If the load of a load-side apparatus becomes a low load less than or equal to a lowest capacity of the compressor, start-stop avoidance control is implemented in a state in which the lowest capacity operation of the compressor is maintained, and one of the pair of air-side heat exchangers and the heat medium-side heat exchanger are connected in parallel by means of the flow passageway switching device.
